Definitions
- This invention relates to a solid phosphoric acid (SPA) catalyst comprising silicon orthophosphate and optionally silicon pyrophosphate.
- the catalyst is characterized by a pore volume of at least about 0.17 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 , of which at least about 0.15 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 is due to macropores with diameters greater than about 10,000 ⁇ .
- the integrated XRD reflectance intensity ratio of silicon orthophosphate to silicon pyrophosphate, if the latter is present, is at least about 5:1 and preferably at least about 8:1.
- Solid phosphoric acid catalysts are commonly used in hydrocarbon conversion processes that require a strongly acidic catalyst.
- hydrocarbon conversion processes in which solid phosphoric acid catalysts have been used include, without limitation, the oligomerization of light olefins to a mixture of heavier olefins and paraffins (“polymer gasoline” or “polygas”) and the alkylation of benzene and other aromatic hydrocarbons with olefins to produce alkyl aromatic products such as cumene and ethylbenzene.
- SPA catalysts comprise a phosphorus source and a silicon source.
- the phosphorus source which typically contributes from about 60% to about 80% of the catalyst by weight, is generally some sort of “phosphoric acid.”
- the phosphoric acids are oxyacids of phosphorus in the +5 oxidation state, and have the generic formula H n+2 P n O 3n+1 .
- the first three acids in this series are: orthophosphoric acid H 3 PO 4 , pyrophosphoric acid H 4 P 2 O 7 , and triphosphoric acid H 5 P 3 O 10 .
- a given sample of “phosphoric acid” will be a mixture of members of the H n+2 P n O 3n+1 series and water.
- the mixture is characterized by the total phosphorus content, which is given as a percentage relative to pure orthophosphoric acid, H 3 PO 4 .
- H 3 PO 4 the total phosphorus content
- the other acids in the series H n+2 P n O 3n+1 have a higher phosphorus content (by weight) than orthophosphoric acid, it is not unusual to find phosphoric acids with concentration greater than 100%.
- a phosphoric acid of concentration between about 100% and about 120% is used to prepare SPA catalysts.
- the silicon source is a siliceous or SiO 2 -containing material such as kieselguhr, diatomaceous earth, infusorial earth, kaolin, fullers earth, artificially prepared porous silica, or mixtures thereof. Kieselguhr is the most preferred silicon source. However, the terms infusorial earth, kieselguhr, and diatomaceous earth, are often used and referred to interchangeably and on an equivalent basis in general in reference to SPA catalysts.
- the ratio of crystalline phases i.e. silicon orthophosphate Si 3 (PO 4 ) 4 and silicon pyrophosphate Si 2 P 2 O 7
- the effectiveness of a catalyst is related to the porosity of solid phosphoric acid catalysts.
- the ratio of crystalline phases may be controlled indirectly by adjusting conditions in the catalyst preparation process, such as the ratio of phosphoric acid to kieselguhr and the calcination temperature. Similarly, the conditions used for the catalyst preparation can affect the finished catalyst porosity.
- porosity as applied to SPA catalysts encompasses both the total pore volume and the distribution of pores of various sizes.
- the pore size distribution is often described relative to pore volume. That is, a certain percentage of the pore volume is due to, or is contributed by, pores in a certain diameter range: for example, one might say that 80% of the total pore volume is due to pores with diameters >1000 ⁇ .
- 3,661,801 teaches a spherical catalyst (not an extrudate) prepared using non-hydrated P 2 O 5 and having between about 0.200 and about 0.400 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 of pore volume contributed by pores with diameter >350 ⁇ and between about 0.07 and about 0.20 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 of pore volume contributed by pores with diameter >9000 ⁇ .
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,081,086 teaches a solid phosphoric acid catalyst with a total pore volume of 0.28 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 or less, with no more than 25% of the pore volume contributed by pores with diameter >10,000 ⁇ .
- European Patent EP 570,070 B1 teaches a solid phosphoric acid catalyst having an integrated XRD reflectance intensity ratio of silicon orthophosphate to silicon pyrophosphate which is less than about 4:1, and having at least 30% of its total pore volume contributed by pores with diameter >10,000 ⁇ .
- the catalysts In order for the SPA catalysts to function in hydrocarbon conversion processes, the catalysts must have efficient mass transfer and resistance to deactivation, as well as high activity. Toward this end, it would be beneficial to have a SPA catalyst that has an effective ratio of silicon orthophosphate to silicon pyrophosphate, and a pore structure having a sufficient volume of large macropores, with diameters above about 10,000 ⁇ , and preferably above about 50,000 ⁇ .
- the improved catalyst has a higher activity and improved stability with respect to SPA catalysts of the prior art.
- the catalyst comprises crystalline silicon orthophosphate and, optionally, crystalline silicon pyrophosphate. When both crystalline phases are present, the catalyst has an integrated XRD reflectance intensity ratio of silicon orthophosphate to silicon pyrophosphate of at least about 5:1, and preferably at least about 8:1.
- the catalyst has a pore volume of at least about 0.17 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 , of which at least 0.15 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 of pore volume which is contributed by pores of diameter >10,000 ⁇ .
- a specific embodiment may be an alkylation process in which benzene and an olefin react to form an alkylbenzene.
- Another embodiment may be a polygas process, also known as a catalytic condensation process, in which light olefins (having from 2 to about 5 carbons per molecule) are polymerized into hydrocarbons suitable for use in gasoline.
- the present development is a solid phosphoric acid (SPA) catalyst having an effective ratio of silicon orthophosphate to silicon pyrophosphate, and a pore structure having a sufficient volume of large macropores, with diameters above about 10,000 ⁇ , and preferably above about 50,000 ⁇ .
- SPA catalysts may be used in processes for the oligomerization of olefins to polymer gasoline, alkylation of aromatics with olefins to give alkyl aromatics, and other types of hydrocarbon conversion processes.
- the ratio of silicon orthophosphate to silicon pyrophosphate may be determined from an integrated X-ray diffraction (XRD) reflectance ratio. This is a comparison of the X-ray reflection intensities generated due to the differing crystallites of these two substances during an XRD experiment.
- the ratio of integrated X-ray diffraction reflectance due to the (113) planes of silicon orthophosphate and the (002) planes of silicon pyrophosphate should be at least about 5:1 and preferably at least about 8:1. This includes the case in which no crystalline silicon pyrophosphate is detected by X-ray diffraction: this would be described as a 1:0 ratio, which is greater than any finite ratio.
- the total pore volume and the contribution to the pore volume by pores of various diameters may be obtained from mercury porosimetry.
- the total pore volume should be at least about 0.17 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 , preferably at least about 0.20 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 , and more preferably at least about 0.22 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 .
- the pore volume contributed by pores of diameters of at least about 10,000 ⁇ should be at least about 0.15 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 , preferably at least about 0.20 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 .
- the pores of diameters of at least about 20,000 ⁇ contribute at least about 0.15 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 of the pore volume, and preferable that the pores of diameters at least about 50,000 ⁇ contribute at least about 0.12 cm 3 g ⁇ 1 of the pore volume.
- the SPA catalyst of this invention may be manufactured in a variety of forms, the preferred form is an extrudate. Extrusion allows the catalyst to be manufactured in various shapes having the requisite pore diameter/pore volume distribution. It is felt that such important properties will be easier to control if the catalyst composite is in extrudate form. Also, extrusion is typically an efficient and cheap method of producing a formed catalyst particle.
- the SPA catalyst of the present invention comprises a phosphorus source and a silicon source.
- the phosphorus source may be any phosphoric acid generally known in the art for use in SPA catalysts.
- Exemplary phosphorus sources include orthophosphoric acid H 3 PO 4 , pyrophosphoric acid H 4 P 2 O 7 , and triphosphoric acid H 5 P 3 O 10 , and combinations thereof.
- the phosphoric acid may further be combined with water.
- a phosphoric acid of concentration between about 100% and about 120% is recommended for preparation of the catalyst.
- the silicon source may be any siliceous or SiO 2 -containing material generally known in the art for use in SPA catalysts.
- Exemplary silicon sources include kieselguhr, diatomaceous earth, infusorial earth, kaolin, fullers earth, artificially prepared porous silica, or mixtures thereof. Kieselguhr is the preferred silicon source.
- the solid phosphoric acid catalysts of this invention can be prepared in the following manner.
- the phosphorus source and the silicon source are mixed at a temperature between about 10° C. and about 232° C., preferably between about 35° C. and about 100° C. This is often done by adding hot phosphoric acid to a silicon source which was kept at room temperature. For example, satisfactory results may be obtained by heating phosphoric acid of phosphorus content of about 110% to a temperature of about 170° C. and then mixing this hot acid with diatomaceous earth which has previously been at room temperature.
- the mixture resulting from this operation is often called the “green” material (referring to unripeness rather than color) and is referred to as a “dough” or “paste”.
- the dough is slightly moist to almost dry in appearance, but may be extruded in a hydraulic press-type or auger-type extruder or a gear-type pelletizer, and then cut into shaped particles.
- ingredients including without limitation additional water, modifiers, binders, cements, or organic material, may be added to the green paste. It is advantageous to add a material which produces gases during calcination, as this aids in the formation of the large pores which characterize this catalyst.
- Materials which produce gases during calcination include, without limitation, materials such as water or other volatiles which produce gas by evaporation or loss on ignition, and organic or inorganic materials such as those containing starch, cellulose, nitrates, carbonates, oxalates, acetates or other organic salts, polymers, or compounds containing coordinated water or ammonia, which produce gas by decomposition or combustion.
- the extrusion step of the catalyst manufacturing process is a factor in determining the porosity of the final catalyst.
- Extrusion conditions can be optimized to produce the requisite pore volume and the contribution to that volume by pores of large diameter. This especially includes the pore volume due to very large pores with diameters in excess of 10,000 ⁇ .
- greater extrusion pressure produces lower porosities, lower pore volumes, and smaller pore diameters in the finished catalysts. Accordingly, excessive extrusion pressure should be avoided.
- Process variables which influence the extrusion pressure include the force applied by the extruder, the cross-sectional area of the holes in the extruder die plate, the length of the die, and the consistency of the extruded paste. Lower extrusion forces, larger holes in the extruder die plate, shorter die lengths, and moister pastes result in lower extrusion pressure.
- the initial, “green” paste formed by mixing the phosphoric acid with the kieselguhr or other silicon source is typically amorphous, and must undergo crystallization to produce the finished SPA catalyst. Crystallization can occur in the period between mixing the ingredients and extrusion, in the period between extrusion and calcination, and during calcination.
- the inventive SPA catalysts may be calcined in two or more stages, with each stage having its own time, temperature, oxygen level, and moisture level.
- the extrudates may be dried at 120° C. for 1 hour in dry air, calcined at 400° C. for 1.5 hours in dry air, and then steamed at 200° C. for 0.5 hours in a 4:1 mixture of air and steam.
- the calcination temperature and calcination time should be sufficient to ensure growth of the crystalline phases of silicon orthophosphate and silicon pyrophosphate and the desired pore characteristics. Calcination temperatures above 500° C. contribute to excessive formation of silicon pyrophosphate and insufficient formation of silicon orthophosphate. In order to obtain a mixture of silicon orthophosphate and silicon pyrophosphate, the calcination temperature (or highest calcination temperature, if there are multiple calcination stages) should be in the range between about 200° C. and about 500° C., preferably between about 350° C. and about 450° C. Calcination times (total times, if there is more than one calcination stage) will vary depending on other calcination factors, but calcination times between about 20 minutes and about 4 hours are preferred.
- the catalyst of the present invention may be used, for example, in the alkylation of aromatic hydrocarbons with olefins to produce alkyl aromatics.
- benzene is reacted with ethylene to produce ethylbenzene.
- benzene is reacted with propylene to produce cumene.
- the aromatic hydrocarbon and the olefin are continuously fed into a pressure vessel containing the solid phosphoric acid catalyst of this invention.
- the feed admixture may be introduced into the alkylation reaction zone containing the alkylation catalyst at a constant rate, or alternatively, at a variable rate.
- the aromatic substrate and olefinic alkylating agent are contacted at a molar ratio of from about 1:1 to 20:1 and preferably-from about 2:1 to 8:1.
- the preferred molar feed ratios help to maximize the catalyst life cycle by minimizing the deactivation of the catalyst by coke and heavy material deposition upon the catalyst.
- the catalyst may be contained in one bed within a reactor vessel or divided up among a plurality of beds within a reactor.
- the alkylation reaction system may contain one or more reaction vessels in series.
- the feed to the reaction zone can flow vertically upwards, or downwards through the catalyst bed in a typical plug flow reactor, or horizontally across the catalyst bed in a radial flow type reactor.
- a controlled amount of water, in quantities between about 0.01% and about 6% of the combined aromatic and olefin feed, is preferably added to the alkylation reaction zone, in order to prevent dehydration of the catalyst, which affects catalyst performance.
- the catalyst in the present invention may also be used in a polygas process.
- olefins in the feed stream are oligomerized to produce heavier hydrocarbons.
- the particles of the catalyst are placed in vertical cylindrical treating towers or in fixed beds in reactors or towers and the gases containing olefins are passed downwardly through the reactors or towers at temperatures of 170° C. to 290° C. and pressures of 6 to 102 atmospheres.
- These conditions are particularly applicable when dealing with olefin-containing material which may contain from approximately 10 to 50 percent or more of propylene and butylenes.
- preferred process conditions are a temperature from about 140° C. to about 250° C., and at a pressure of from about 34 to about 102 atmospheres.
- a sample of 250 g phosphoric acid of 113% concentration is heated to 50° C. To this is added 100 g kieselguhr and 12 g deionized water. The kieselguhr and acid are blended in a high-speed mechanical mixer for several minutes. After blending, the mixture is allowed to cool for 10 minutes. The resulting “green” paste is then extruded using a hydraulic press. The extrudates are calcined in air at 370° C. for 2 hours.
- Example 1 The procedure of Example 1 is followed, except that the 12 g deionized water is added after the mixing and cooling steps, but before the extruding step.
- a sample of 270 g phosphoric acid of 113% concentration is heated to 45° C. To this are added 100 g kieselguhr and 3 g maize flour. The kieselguhr and acid are blended using a high-speed mechanical mixer for several minutes. After blending, the “green” mixture is extruded using a hydraulic press. The extrudates are calcined in air at 320° C. for 30 minutes.
- Example 3 The procedure of Example 3 is carried out, except that the maize flour content is reduced to 2 g per 100 g kieselguhr.
- Example 3 The procedure of Example 3 is carried out, except that the maize flour content is reduced to 1 g per 100 g kieselguhr.
- Example 4 The procedure of Example 4 is carried out, except that the maize flour is replaced by 2 g of wheat flour per 100 g kieselguhr.
